Unt Soccer Vs. Missori State

[Mean Green Matt]

1-1 at the half from the UNT Soccer Field. Missouri State took the lead in the second minute after our clearance was stopped by a blatant uncalled handball. Play was allowed to continue and the ball was in the net within ten seconds.

UNT found the equalizer in the 16th minute on a goal by Michelle Young. After a great through ball she was left one on one with the keeper down the left flank. Her left footed finish cut across the keeper and goalface into the far side netting.

UNT is lacking the edge they had Friday, probably due to the heat and a more talented opponent. Our finishing at this point appears to be much better than last year though.

69th minute: Still 1-1. Teams are taking a water break. Missouri State is strong defensively. The only real scoring chance of the second half for UNT so far was a wild scramble in front of goal after MSU failed to clear a corner.

UNT GOAL! 76th minute. Julie Lackey scores on an assist from Ellen Scarfone. Scarfone lobbed a pass over the MSU back line. The ball bounced pretty high and lackey headed it right over the head of the out charging keeper into the back of the net.

Oh, man, be still my heart! A convert! I gave you a +1 and would have given you multiple pluses if I could!

Great win on a very hot day...my bride refused to go to the game yesterday because it was so hot, and I was about dead already from working in the yard until noon. Sorry to have missed the game...great win on a tough day for the Mean green! 2-0 to start...NICE!

GO MEAN GREEN!

Agreed! But it won't happen in our lifetime, appears there is too much momentum for baseball

There's no reason we can't do both. We are so highly rated in Title IX compliance that adding two men's teams won't hurt us a bit. And even if there was a concern, add women's bowling with its ZERO travel cost.

I'm with you on this. If I had to pick either baseball or men's soccer, I would have to go with baseball. However, after years and years of near perfect title IX compliance, I think that we should just go ahead and add both.
